For a trader, marked price of a refrigerator = Rs. 15,680 inclusive of GST at the rate of 12% on the marked price. Gagan, a customer for this refrigerator, asks the trader to reduce the marked price of the refrigerator to such extend that its reduced price plus GST on it is equal to marked price of the refrigerator. Find the required reduction.

$\huge \sf{ \underline{ \underline{Solution:-}}}$

• Let us assume the marked price of the refrigerator be Rs. x.
• Which is inclusive of GST (12%)

So,

$\sf \: x + 12\% \: of \: x = 15,680$

$\sf \: x = Rs. 14,000$

• Initial marked price = Rs. 14,000

Now,

• Let Gagan asked for priced reduction of Rs. y.

So, the new price = 14,000 – y

And, GST on new price = 12% of (14,000 – y)

From the question

$\sf14,000 – y + 0.12(14,000 – y) \\ \sf= 14,000-1.12y + 1680 = 0$

$\sf \: y = 1500$

Therefore, the required reduction in price is Rs. 1500.
